hen they
finished. Then, thinking the day had been strenuous enough, Andy and
Dunk declined invitations to go out, and got ready for bed.

So ended Andy's first day at Yale.

There was a hurried run to chapel next morning, and Andy, who had to
finish arranging his scarf on the way, found that he was not the only
tag-ender. Chapel was not over-popular.

That Len Scott did not recover his lost money was made evident the next
day, for there were several notices posted in various places offering a
reward for the return of the bills. Andy heard, indirectly, that Len and
Mortimer made half-accusations against the freshmen they had "frisked"
earlier in the evening, and had been soundly trounced for their
impudence.

Andy told Dunk of his connection in the affair and was advised to keep
quiet, which Andy thought wise to do. But the loss of the money did not
seem to be of much permanent annoyance to Len, for a few days later he
was again spending royally.

Andy began now to settle down to his life at Yale. He was duly
established in his room with Dunk, and it was the congregating place of
many of their freshmen friends. Andy and Dunk continued to eat at the
"joint" in York street, though our hero made up his mind that he would
shift to University Hall at the first opportunity. He hoped Dunk would
come with him, but that was rather doubtful.

"I can try, anyhow," thought Andy.

Our hero did not find the lessons and lectures easy. There was a spirit

leisure time as he had anticipated, which, perhaps, was a good thing for
him. But Andy wanted to do well, and he applied himself at first with
such regularity that he was in danger of becoming known as a "dig." But
he was just saved from that by the influence of Dunk, who took matters a
little easier.

Following the episode of the "rough house," Andy did not see Mortimer
for several days, and when he did meet him the latter took no notice of
our hero.

"I'm just as pleased," Andy thought. "Only it looks as though he'd make
more trouble."

Candidates for the football team had been called for, and, as Andy had
made good at Milton, he decided to try for at least a place on the
freshman team.

So then, one crisp afternoon, in company with other candidates, all
rather in fear and trembling, he hopped aboard a trolley to go out to
Yale Field.

Dunk was with him, as were also Bob, Ted, and Thad, who likewi
